Do the twist in the twisting outfit

The loose tie with the loose limp wrists

Lift your dress enough to show me those shins

Let your hair stick to your forehead

G5 G5 G5 G5 G5 G5 G5 D5

[Verse 2]

G5 D5 G5 C5 G5

Did you blush then when our hips touched?

I can't tell, you're already red

Is that pink mist or just lit dry ice
